Single-payer would be good solution

"I think that our current presidential candidates understand that ideally single-payer would be the best, but they don't have the political will to move that forward. Their job is to feel which way the wind is blowing. Our job is to turn that wind." Full Story »

As far as it goes, it's a good story. But this is a small perspective on a very big topic.

The opinion piece supports the proposition that opinion on health care systemic change is changing, and that bottom-up democracy needs to get crackin to advocate single payer health care. If the leaders of the masses are going to lead the masses down a new path, the explorers and front-runners have to show the way and hack away the brambles.

This opinion piece has little journalistic merit. It is very one-0sided and was not researched at all. Single-payer health care has been a disaster wherever it has been tried, whether in Canada or Britain or continental Europe or the Communist countries (the ultimate single-payer system). The author should have done some research on the issue before writing this piece. There is no mention of alternatives that are working, such as high-deductable MSAs.
